Wood burning stove

Abstract

This is a stove primarily for the burning of wood, but also capable of burning other combustible materials, which stove is characterized by a unique combustion chamber, together with a recirculating combustion chamber and baffle for more perfect combustion and characterized by a heat radiating chamber which may be closed so as to be used as an oven, and by a unique damper placement in combination with the exhaust flue pipe so adapted as to automatically activate in order to cool the flue pipe in the event it should exceed safe heat limits.

We claim: 
     
       1. In a wood burning stove, the combination with a primary combustion chamber lined with brick, having some of the bricks vertically disposed within the said primary combustion chamber and held in position with clips, clipping alternate pairs of said bricks in position; of a secondary combustion chamber having baffle means therein for recirculation therein; and a flue pipe interconnected to said secondary chamber and extending outside of said stove with an upward and downward connection attached thereto, wherein the downward connection is provided with an opening suitable to draw cool air into the upward connection and having a flue portion containing a barometric damper located at right angles to said downward connection and communicating with said opening, said secondary combustion chamber being elevated from the primary chamber; and a heat radiating compartment located above the primary combustion chamber and depending into the secondary combustion chamber, said heat radiating compartment being provided with doors so that it may be used as an oven. 
     
     
       2. The combination of claim 1, wherein the said stove is provided with means to adjust the flow of air into the combustion chambers. 
     
     
       3. The combination of claim 2 wherein the primary combustion chamber is provided with an outwardly depending ledge adjacent an opening thereto for catching ashes and the like.
